Magnuson P-Patch Accessibility Improvements

About This Grant

This project will address three accessibility issues in the Magnuson P-Patch located at 7400 Sand Point Way NE: (1) eliminating annual flooding on a portion of the accessible paths through the p-patch. This flooding precludes those with any type of walking assist from using that portion of the path during half the year; (2) a pilot program to access a retaining wall design along 100' of the same path. The goal here is to prevent plots and weeds from encroaching onto the path; (3) repair rotting boards on the raised beds and/or replace the beds with galvanized tanks in the section of the p-patch that's designated for gardeners with mobility issues. An additional goal of the project is to strengthen the relationship between the P-Patch and the residents of Magnuson Housing. This project will be completed by December 31, 2021.
